one of my overclocked computer doesn't want to work with win2k, but it runs everything in win98, the rest of my other 3 are ok. the win98 system can't access files and printer sharing on my network. i can see all computers in the network but don't know why it ask for a password. i have no password setup on all units. any help???
 
In order to get access to the W2K machine, there needs to be a user in W2K's list of users, with the same name and password as the Win98 machines.

You say that you have problems with your O/C machine. W2K is in general more picky when it comes to O/C'ing. But what problems do you excactly have?
 
i click on my network icon of my win98 system, i can see all the computer name, then i click on the computer with win2k os, a enter password box come out, "you must supply a password to this connection. resources:\\home-950\ipc$. password box on the buttom. ok or cancel."
and that system there is no password asign on it.
 
IPC$ is the default adminstrative share. Create a new share for your c drive on your win2k machine. You will then need to make an account on win2k which matches the login account you use for win98. You dont have to put a password in, but whatever you use, make sure it matches the password on win98. Then you wont get login and password prompts anymore.
 
thx for all the info, get it work fnally.
i go to the control panel, click on users and passwords icon, go to advance tab, go to users, enable guest.
